XFX vs VTX

Yeah +1 archer. You do get better quality if you buy a more well known brand. They aren't exactly the same. one will have custom cooling, quality capacitors, better branded ram and so forth. MSI uses military grade components in their cards. But if you can get 20% speed difference for the same price, the choice is pretty easy.

Agreed, only reason I picked up a XFX model was because I got it for just over R2k back in November. But the OP has already bought the 5870, so lets just wait for some feedback, though I'm sure it'll be amazing.

XFX warranty is awesome, double lifetime (transferable if you sell the card)

Only in America/Canada.
